“He amazing, my new role model”
Comment : he is amazing! What I love about him is that he's honest and tell u the truth whether u like it or not. He doesn't sugar coat it. He really cares for his patients. I needed surgery because I had a super severe curve. He kept on telling me, " I don't care who does ur surgery but it NEEDS to be done. You can do it with any surgeon but ur back needs to have surgery". In the end he was right. As much as my mom didn't want to believe but he was totally right. He operated on me on august 3,2012 and I'm happy he did! He's funny, caring, etc. you can tell he loves his job and just wants to help. He's my role model. He like mixes his personality with his job and that what makes him so special! Dr asghar is amazing, trust me. THANK U DR ASGHAR!! -the girl who stepped on the screw :) u know who I am dr asghar!
